11/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Back down in trip, raced freely when seventh of 9 in handicap (5/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 12 days ago. It remains early days with his current yard, though, so he's not written off.

Ran well from his reduced mark when second at this course (5f) in August. Not in the same form when last of 4 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 8/11) 15 days ago, but he could bounce back with blinkers on 1st time.

33/1

Form has gone the wrong way this year, last of 6 in handicap (11/2) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 2 weeks ago. Falling in the weights but others more persuasive at present.

War Zone^p²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 47

17/2

Produced his best performance when runner-up in minor event at this C&D in August. However, failed to repeat that effort when sixth of 7 in similar event here (9/2) 28 days ago. More needed back in a handicap.

Forecasts

Blue Collar Lad (7/2), Lewis Barnes (7/2), Q Twenty Boy (6/1), Araifjan (13/2), Poetic Jack (15/2), War Zone (17/2), Don't Fight It (11/1), Overnight Oats (11/1), Repartee (20/1), Zelma (33/1), Falmouth Boy (33/1)

LEWIS BARNES produced one of his better efforts for his current yard when runner-up at this course on his penultimate start, so with blinkers applied he is taken to leave his latest run behind having eased further in the weights. Don't Fight It is also on a handy mark and could be the main danger, with Blue Collar Lad also considered.
